High school students also joined the international educational project “Girls Go Circular”. Iryna Sernyak, associate professor of the Department of International Economic Relations, conducted it. This European project, implemented in Ukraine by Junior Achievement Ukraine, aims to develop digital and entrepreneurial skills in girls aged 14–19. Participants master the basics of the circular economy, learn to think creatively, work in a team and find solutions to modern challenges. The program also contributes to the popularization of STEM disciplines among girls, overcoming gender stereotypes in science and technology and fulfilling the goals of EU digital education. All participants receive certificates based on the results of their studies. Such meetings not only contribute to the popularization of the university among young people, but also create strong partnerships between educational institutions for the common goal of a high-quality future for Ukrainian youth.
